I am opposed to this…

I am opposed to this initiative. According to the information provided in the release there is no evidence that a cormorant cull will alter the overall population. There is no data at this time to suggest that initiatives other than egg oiling have any impact on population.
There is also no data to confirm cormorant responsibility for declining fish stocks.
I am a boater on The Georgian Bay and worry about hunters during the boating season.
I don’t believe any hunter will collect carcasses.
Cormorants are not game birds. They should not be classified as such. If the government wants to compile data regarding a cormorant cull, they should not do so by designating cormorants as game birds.
